They absolutely fuck around with the mod log and have been caught doing it several times, and claim “federation glitches.”
I have personally had a situation on my old .ml account where I was banned without any modlog entry, but my comments would still be visible to some users and not others. Definitely just “federation glitches” and not testing a secret shadowban function.
At this point not only do I assume .ml is running some custom version of the Lemmy back end, I consider them an active security threat to the broader fediverse. This is a big part of why I’ve gone to piefed.
